Implementation of differentiated service delivery for paediatric HIV care and treatment: opportunities, challenges and experience from seven sub-Saharan African countries

Family Medicine and Community Health, 2020
Differentiated service delivery (DSD) models for HIV often exclude children and adolescents. Given that children and adolescents have lower rates of HIV diagnosis, treatment and viral load suppression, there is a need to use DSD to meet the needs of ...

Shape‐Stabilization of Phase Change Materials with Carbon‐Conscious Poly(hydroxy)Urethane Foams

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Poly(hydroxy)urethane (PHU) foam, derivable from carbon dioxide (CO2) and bio‐based resources, is a promising material platform for shape‐stabilizing phase change materials (PCMs). We demonstrate the encapsulation of both paraffins and calcium chloride hexahydrate in PHU foam, achieving 48 stable thermal cycles by introducing 5 wt.% barium carbonate ...

Spraints demonstrate small population size and reliance on fishponds for Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) in Hong Kong

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) are declining widely across China and remain rare and virtually unstudied in Hong Kong. We intensively sampled spraints in the Mai Po wetlands across two years and through microsatellite genotyping identified seven individuals and a dominance of fish (97%) in their diet based on prey‐remains analysis.

Modulating D33 Coefficients Through In Situ AgF and Ag2O Growth in PVDF Composites for High‐Performance Piezoelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In situ, nanoparticle doping enhances the piezoelectric coefficient (**d₃₃**) of PVDF to ≈12 pC/N, while in situ growth of AgF and Ag₂O dopants increases β‐phase concentration. The nanogenerator achieves a 35 V open‐circuit voltage and 1.6 µA short‐circuit current, powering 10 blue LEDs and charging a 50 nF capacitor within 10 s.

Distinct latitudinal community patterns of Arctic marine vertebrates along the East Greenlandic coast detected by environmental DNA

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 316-334, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Greenland is one of the places on Earth where the effects of climate change are most evident. The retreat of sea ice has made East Greenland more accessible for longer periods during the year. East Greenland fjords have been notoriously difficult to study due to their remoteness, dense sea ice conditions and lack of infrastructure.

Mental health status of children with disorders of sexual development and their correlates

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
Disorders of sexual development (DSD) refer to the congenital abnormalities of chromosomes, gonads, or gender anatomy. Children with DSD usually experience more stress. The present study aims to evaluate the mental health status of children with DSD, and
